I think I found the solution to most problems regarding expansions.
This is how I did:

1. Install The Sims 3 BASE GAME first, crack it and make sure it works.

2. Install The Sims 3 UNIVERSITY LIFE expansion. Crack it and make sure it works. Also make sure you put the crack in the BASE GAME, not the expansion.

3. Now you can install all of the other expansions without problems. NOTE: Do NOT crack the other expansions, just install them and then enter the game through University Life crack in the base game bin folder.

The reason to install and crack University Life before installing any other expansions is that University Life is the latest release so you will have the latest crack.

This won't install because apparently the regional code is not compatible. If I change the SKU of TS3 to 7, will all my other expansion packs work? Would I need to use the Super Patcher after I install in order for my Sims to work? World Adventures is the only pack that appears to give me difficulty. Please assist me, anyone who has this game up and working. Not uninstalling my TS3 and reinstalling is most preferable, by the way.

Could anyone explain to me how to find the crack and keygen on this? I all the files look the same to me, when I open them on WinRar they say they all have the same .iso and I googled how to extract all these files, it says to highlight them all and decompress, but I'm using WinRar and all it says when I do that is COMPRESS and e-mail?

I already mounted the image and installed with no problems, but now I don't know how to patch over the stuff in my Gamebin because I can't find the crack folder. Please help~

I hate to be lengthy and kind of feel not everyone wants to respond to lengthy comments because it means lengthy reading, plus they might require lengthy responses, but I really want this entire game and i'm optimistic that someone's willing to help simply out of goodness.

I got the base game. The base game runs flawlessly.

Now it's time for the Expansions. I followed what RedEyeofHours wrote.

So I uninstalled the base game so i can re-install it without cracking it in order to continue on to the Expansions, like RedEyeofHours directed.

Everything installed smoothly and successfully, except at the last 2 Expansions, the updates failed, but I simply exited the setups and started them again and the updates didn't appear, and it just continued on and installed. (I don't know if that's important but it could be).

I cracked the base game and each Expansion.

Then I returned to the base game and launched from the crack (TS3.exe) expecting it will launch like it did before I installed the Expansions. What happens is after I've double-clicked, my cursor says it's loading, but the game never begins.

So I opened up each Expansion folder in Downloads, and double-clicked clicked their crack in an attempt to launch the game (starting with Showtime).

The screen goes black and the game launches. The loading screen says "Showtime" for the Showtime crack, the Pets crack, and every single crack I tried, some didn't work launch at all, others launched then crashed, but for the ones that did work i made it too the menu and picked a city to begin playing in. When i got to the sky-view menu, everything looked and functioned normal except the city below looked chrome and distorted, and the Options menu wouldn't open. On a positive note It seemed like I had all the Expansions integrated, (alot of new custom houses to add, China, France, and Egypt were available, and alot of new cities to play in).

Here's is my dilemma.

Why is everything chrome and distorted from sky-view, why cant I open the options menu, and why cant I launch the game from the base game crack TS3.exe.

Now, Pets and Showtime's cracks are in folders that don't indicate it contains the crack by saying "Crack", instead they say "Game" which contains "Bin" which contains the crack and other files. They look like cracks, for example, TS3EP06.ex_ and TS3EP05.ex_, and RedEyeofHours said,

"...LOOK AT THE CRACK, IF IT HAS EP(xx) WITH (XX) BEING NUMBERS IN ITS NAME, IT GOES IN THE EXPANSION FOLDER FOR IT..." and they did, so to me they're cracks.

In my mind, the folder containing the crack should say "CRACK" like the other Expansions and base game. While cracking the Expansions, the cracks that had "EP(xx)" I copied and pasted in it's Expansion folder in Program Files, just like RedEyeofHours directed, and for the ones that didn't say "EP(xx)", I copied and pasted in the base game folder in Program Files, which did some overwriting. Maybe the overwriting messed up something, but they're cracks so I suspected they ought to be copied and pasted somewhere, and if not in it's expansion folder in Program Files (because they don't say "EP(xx)"), then in the base game folder in Program Files.

My God I would be enormously grateful if someone is willing to go deep and help me figure this out.
